Show SUICIDE MANIA. At tempts at suicide are becoming laiionable amotig tho leaders of the nations whb'h made war upon civilization civiliza-tion and wotj badly beaten. First it v.as Villi"!!:), the former kaiser, who ; id o have ma e a futile effort to ,.lui hi? existence, hut was prevented by wiit.-lifr.l attendants one of whom was -o iuiied. Now it is reported that Count Michael Karolyi, one of the leaders in -he movement to establish a Hungarian !vpubli' has also attempted to make wsv with himself while i:? despair of his -'trfs in reconstruct Hungary. The .o.n.t's attempt at suicide was also 'vr-f .iit'M, and wo suspect that both :'-:v Fniien-'oiicrn mid fount Karolyi 1 h lvc-t;:cd th;: rhy were upon tho eye r',"': KrUuOiVii 'I'u-cs ic order that they might be restrained bc- fore doing themtelves gret bodily harm. However, they may have be-n in earnest in which case they will doubtless have better success in the next attempt. Wilhelm has good reanon for wanting 1o quit the enilh. He is execrated and dispised all over tho world and lias nothing to live for.
